Application of Our Slurry Pumps in Fisheries
- Fish Processing Waste Handling: Fish processing generates a significant amount of waste, including fish scales, bones, and other organic material. A high solids pump can transport these waste materials from processing areas to disposal or treatment facilities.
- Fish Farming and Aquaculture: In aquaculture facilities, a submersible slurry pump can circulate water in fish tanks or ponds, ensuring proper oxygenation and mixing of water. They can also transport feed and waste within the aquaculture system.
- Transport of Fish Byproducts: A slurry transport pump can help transport fish byproducts such as fishmeal, fish oil, and fish slurry (a mixture of fish waste and water) within fish processing plants.
- Dewatering Operations: Slurry pumps can be employed to dewater areas such as fishing boat holds or processing facilities. This helps remove excess water and maintain a clean and efficient working environment.
- Offshore and Seafood Processing: Offshore platforms and seafood processing facilities often need to handle a mixture of seawater, fish waste, and other materials. A submersible slurry pump can move these mixtures efficiently for processing and disposal.
- Maintenance of Fish Tanks and Ponds: A heavy-duty slurry pump can be used to remove accumulated sediments, waste, and debris from fish tanks, ponds, and other aquatic enclosures, ensuring a healthy environment for the fish.
- Hygienic Cleaning: The industrial slurry pump plays a role in the cleaning and sanitizing of fish processing equipment and facilities. The slurry transport pump transports cleaning solutions and removes debris, contributing to hygiene and sanitation standards.
- Processing of Shellfish and Mollusks: The processing of shellfish and mollusks often involves handling shells, sand, and other debris. A high solids pump can assist in moving these materials to designated areas for disposal or processing.
- Fish Waste Management: A slurry transport pump can aid in efficiently transporting fish waste to treatment facilities, which can be converted into valuable products like fertilizers or biogas through anaerobic digestion.
- Fishing Vessel Operations: A submersible slurry pump can be used on fishing vessels to assist in the handling and transporting catch, as well as to clean and maintain the vessel’s holds.

Dredge Project Consulting
- Easier to install and maintain, the horizontal slurry pump, a type of dredge pump, allows for quick access to pump components, making repair jobs straightforward. During repair jobs, pumps are completely disassembled for thorough inspection. All components are carefully inspected, and any parts not meeting standards are replaced. After reassembly, the pump is tested to ensure reliable performance. These steps help extend the service life of the hydraulic pump and maintain equipment reliability. EDDY Pump can also provide dredging project managers to oversee sediment projects and remediation projects, ensuring that all aspects of the dredging project are managed efficiently and in compliance with environmental regulations.
- Requires more room, due to its larger footprint compared to vertical
- Implementing best management practices and evaluating management alternatives are essential for effective material management in any dredging project.
Vertical Slurry Pump
-
Less smaller footprint, allowing the dredge pump to be implemented in hard to reach jobs
-
More versatile, can be cable hung straight down and inserted directly into medium to pump target material. The vertical slurry pump can also be used in mechanical dredging operations where minimal water addition is required.
-
The vertical slurry pump is typically situated within the excavator or dredging system so that it is optimally positioned for efficient material handling and performance.
-
More difficult to repair and tougher maintenance
Application of EDDY Pump’s Hydraulic Dredging in Fisheries
- Sediment Removal: Sediment buildup in fish ponds, aquaculture facilities, and waterways can negatively impact water quality and fish health. A slurry pump dredge can remove excess sediments, improving water quality and creating a healthier environment for fish.
- Dredging Fish Ponds and Tanks: Fish ponds and tanks used in aquaculture can accumulate sediments over time, impacting the fish habitat and increasing disease risk. Pond dredging equipment can help maintain proper pond depths and water quality by removing these sediments.
- Channel Maintenance: In natural water bodies used for fisheries, such as rivers, lakes, and estuaries, sediment deposition can affect navigation and fish migration. Hydraulic dredging equipment can maintain navigational channels, ensuring safe passage for fishing vessels and allowing fish to move freely.
- Restoration of Habitat: Some fisheries may involve restoring or creating specific aquatic habitats for fish species. Dredge pump systems can reshape and improve habitats like spawning beds, nursery areas, and feeding grounds, benefiting fish populations.
- Harvesting and Hatchery Operations: In aquaculture, hydraulic dredging equipment can assist in harvesting fish from ponds and tanks by creating water currents that guide fish toward collection points. It can also help in collecting fish eggs for hatchery operations.
- Cleaning and Maintenance: A slurry pump dredge can clean out debris, dead vegetation, and accumulated organic matter from water bodies, creating a cleaner and healthier environment for fish.
- Fish Passage Improvement: Some fish species migrate between freshwater and marine environments to complete their life cycles. Hydraulic dredging equipment can help remove barriers, sediment, and debris that impede fish passage, promoting successful migrations.
- Floodplain Management: In floodplain areas utilized for fisheries, sediment deposition can alter the natural flow of water. Dredge pump systems can restore floodplains, ensuring proper water movement and habitat availability for fish.
- Aeration Enhancement: Hydraulic dredging can increase water movement and aeration in stagnant or oxygen-deprived areas, which is particularly beneficial for fish that require well-oxygenated water to thrive.
- Aquatic Weed Control: Invasive aquatic plants can disrupt fish habitats and breeding grounds. Hydraulic dredging can control these plants by removing them from water bodies.
